Shawn Macias · Answer 1

Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.

Explanation:

Cell division is the process by which multiplies and increase their number. Two main types of cell division are mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is common in the somatic cells.

Meiosis is the process of cell division in a single cell divide into four daughter cells. These cells contains half of the genetic material of their parental cell. the meiosis is common in germ cells and this type of division is known as reduction division.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Reece Jacobs · Answer 2

Answer: Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two types of cell division, alongside mitosis. Meiosis occur as a two-step cell division with only one duplication of chromosomes, and it takes place in sex cells.

- In the 1st step, a parent diploid cell with two sets of chromosomes splits in two haploid cells (each having only a set of the parents chromosomes)

- In the 2nd step, the two haploid cells divide again giving a total of four (4) haploid daughter cells.

Thus, the accurately described cell division is this: Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.
